The Finn had a strong finish to his 2021 season, wherein he reached the quarterfinals of three ATP tournaments in the second half and also registered his first win over a top-10 player when he defeated Alexander Zverev at the Miami Open.

Jiri Vesely finally snapped his 5-match losing streak with a win in his second-round match. The Czech was dominant throughout the match and fired 13 aces and broke his opponent’s serve twice in each set to progress to the quarter-finals for the second consecutive time. He has a proper chance to defend his title and is the second highest-ranked player left in the draw after top seed Aslan Karatsev was knocked out in the second round itself.

But Ruusuvuori will be a tough opponent to win against, he lost only two matches this year, which were against quality opponents, Rafael Nadal and Felix Auger Aliassime. He also holds the advantage of winning their only meeting so far.

Prediction: Ruusuvuori to win in three sets
